Set to take place at Messe Munich, Germany, from 23 to 26 May, FESPA Global Print Expo 2023 and European Sign Expo 2023 will aim to help print and sign professionals who are setting out their strategies for future success.
In the words of Head, FESPA Global Print Expo – Michael Ryan: “The businesses that have come through the pandemic have already learned the importance of agility and flexibility. Now they’re facing a new set of challenges and need to explore different avenues for profitable growth. That’s why our 2023 event campaign leads with ‘New Perspectives’. We’re inviting printers and signmakers to come with open minds, ready to look at problems from different angles and challenge established perceptions to unlock growth opportunities.”
FESPA is also launching a new Personalisation Experience to run alongside the expo. This standalone event, located at the heart of the show, will centre around an exhibition space open to all FESPA Global Print Expo and European Sign Expo visitors, offering an experiential showcase of products and solutions for personalisation.
Aimed at those looking to enhance or differentiate their offering with personalisation and customisation, the multi-day Personalisation Experience Conference will include individual content streams dedicated to personalised loyalty marketing, sportswear, and fashion customisation, bespoke interiors, and personalised packaging, featuring more than 50 expert speakers.
FESPA’s Printeriors for interior decor will now be incorporated within the Personalisation Experience, showcasing a variety of individualised interior spaces curated by FESPA textile ambassador Debbie McKeegan. Delegates will have the chance to go through the process of defining, ordering, and collecting personalised items from participating sponsors within the exhibition. Also returning with the 2023 event is the Sustainability Spotlight, which FESPA said will offer visitors a chance to learn more about how to improve their environmental performance and credentials at a time of increasing urgency around sustainability.
With more than 330 exhibitors already signed up for the shows so far with Brother, EFKA, Hanglory, Mimaki, and Surfex Coverings also as confirmed sponsors. The expo will also host FESPA Awards 2023, with a gallery of shortlisted entries from printers worldwide accessible to visitors for the first time since 2020.
